"A great call to kick off the new year in 3D Problem Solving. I have had the opportunity to be in the heart of acute care delivery for the past 6 months and I am here to tell any of you who are a bit more removed--it's bad and getting worse every day.

"After obtaining my certification, I immediately put the principles into action. Obtaining buy in for participation was effortless after mentioning the successes that other facilities have experienced with 3D. Our team accomplished a seemingly impossible undertaking. The resultant hope, engagement, and transformation of all the team members was palpable. The team went from being hesitant and fearful to hopeful and excited after coming together to re-design a complex, cumbersome process. 

“Every time I see the amazing results achieved by my teams doing the 3D work, I am inspired. Now, I'm the one who is energized.”

“3D Problem Solving is amazing because it works. I’m passionate about being a leader for real change in nursing and healthcare. 3D is the vehicle that is taking me where I want to go. I’m looking at introducing 3D to the nursing associations in which I’m active.”

“The 3D model is the ticket. I have been using it and teaching it with curriculum in all venues. Even sharing in Egypt. Wow! So grateful for sharing the model throughout. I continue to mandate your book for all I am mentoring and leading. It is awesome to serve in this space. Thank you for all you have done!”

"My boss, our Chief Transformation Officer, had spoken to us of his time with David Dibble learning a new systems-based transformation model for healthcare or what we call 3D Problem Solving. As a first-year fellow working in Clinical Practice Transformation (CPT), David was brought in to lead us in the transformation of the RNICU and, at the same time, train me and two of my CPT associates in facilitation of the model. It was an amazing experience for all three of us. 

In the six months training with David and learning his approach to facilitation and problem solving has transformed not only the way I solve problems in the workplace but has largely defined the lens through which I view personal, cultural, and societal issues. On a professional level, I gained an invaluable sense of confidence, now viewing every problem as an opportunity for systems-based change. As now a CPT lead facilitator, I have tangible tools that position me as a uniquely valuable team member and allowed me to emerge as a thought leader. I believe the short time we spent together will inform the rest of my career, no matter the path I take.  

From a personal perspective, David’s training has given me a sense of optimism and peace when dealing with challenges in my personal life. I no longer blame people for the issues I observe in the world and instead practice compassionate understanding of the systems-based explanation for human behavior. I do not think a day goes by where I do not employ his skills in humble inquiry to understand the opportunities for transformation and change from a systems-based perspective.  

I would highly recommend David and his teachings to anyone looking to facilitate transformation in healthcare or any workplace or the world around us.

I have been using the 3D transformation process in healthcare since David trained me in 2005. The process is a game changer, especially for front line nurses and physicians, in improving both patient care and the working environment. We see 3D as having three components: problem solving, peer support, and systems change, with the voices of front line care staff directing the improvements. Outcomes, both physical and emotional, have been remarkable.

David’s change model is a one-of-a-kind consultation. Grass roots staff work together to solve problems and, in the process, heal relationships and support each other. No more blaming and complaining, just nurses taking the lead in making the right changes. If your organization is in need of cultural transformation and sustainable systems-improvement, this is the process for you.”
